"Where is General Han Qiong marching now?" In the general's tent, Lü Bu, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Pang De, Zhang Xiu and other generals all came to give orders to Chen Mo. Chen Mo had just arrived and had not rested. He asked Qian Zhao to arrange the camp and asked with a smile.

"My lord, General Han had previously designed to defeat Su Puyan and repel Nan Lou. Now he has led his troops to approach Bailang Mountain." Zhao Yun bowed.

"Understood." Chen Mo nodded and said after thinking for a moment.

"I am here!" Pang De stepped forward and bowed.

"Take our troops to find General Han, and keep him under his command. Also, give him this command arrow, and let Zhang He lead 20,000 troops to Liucheng!" Chen Mo handed a command arrow to Pang De and said, "Tell General Han that if the Wuhuan royal court does not move, don't be too anxious, but if he wants to rescue Liucheng, immediately lead his troops to approach the Wuhuan royal court."

Liucheng has been trapped by him, but it is definitely not possible to attack the city now. There are cavalry around him, and the only infantry is Chen Mo's personal guards. Moreover, this is the old nest of Tadun. According to the intelligence obtained before, although Wuhuan has been dealt with badly during this period, it can be regarded as indirectly helping Tadun and driving the surrounding tribes to Liucheng. Now there are more people and horses in Liucheng than before. Of course, this is also the result Chen Mo wants.

The death of Bao Geng, the hatred of Youzhou, killing only one Tadun is not enough to relieve the hatred in my heart, especially this time when I went north, Chen Mo found a very serious problem. Apart from other things, the Wuhuan people have been divided within the Han Dynasty. When the princes were conquering, they quietly grew stronger. According to the intelligence collected so far, the troops of the three kings of Wuhuan add up to more than 100,000 soldiers.

What is the concept? If there is no such thing, Wuhuan will accumulate strength for a few more years. Once it goes south, it is afraid that it will not only be Yuyang and Liaoxi counties that will be poisoned, but the entire Youzhou. Moreover, once the other party goes south on a large scale, Chen Mo does not have enough cavalry and loses the defense of the dangerous pass. Even if Wuhuan is finally expelled from the country, what is left for him is only a ruined Youzhou, and even Jizhou may be poisoned.

Wuhuan is like this, what about Xianbei? What about Xiongnu?

Chen Mo found that his understanding of the Hu people was far from enough. The threat came not only from the Han Dynasty, but also from the foreign races that were once not valued by the Han people. In recent years, as the princes of all parties have set their sights on other states and counties, these foreign races outside the Great Wall have lost their constraints and their strength has grown wildly in silence.

This time, Chen Mo let Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and others kill wantonly, not just for revenge, but also to weaken the power of these foreign races.

Of course, if you kill by yourself, you can't kill them all. After this battle, Chen Mo plans to try to provoke internal disputes in the grassland, let the grassland fall into a situation of mutual conquest, and let them consume each other internally. Of course, this is a later story. What needs to be done now is to destroy Wuhuan.

"I will obey your order!" Pang De bowed and received the order, and stood up to leave.

"Fengxian?" Chen Mo turned his head and looked at Lu Bu and smiled.

"What do you want, lord?" Lu Bu stood up.

"Now our troops are not as many as Liucheng. You lead your troops to continue to cruise around, destroy the Wuhuan tribe, and plunder their cattle and sheep as military supplies. The soldiers have worked hard in the Northern Expedition, and they need meat to eat." Chen Mo smiled.

"I will obey your orders!" Lu Bu nodded and left. This kind of thing is just what he likes.

In the next two days, it was calm. Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, and Zhang Xiu took turns to go out of the city every day. If Tadun sent troops out of the city to fight, they would stop the enemy at the gate of the city and not let the enemy send out large-scale troops.

Three days later, Zhang He was ordered to come and meet Chen Mo, and a large number of siege equipment were brought by Zhang He at the same time.

"My lord, should we attack the city immediately?" Zhang He asked.

"No hurry, there is still one thing missing!" Chen Mo shook his head. Now is not the best time to attack the city.

As for what is missing, since Chen Mo did not say, the generals did not ask any more questions.

In Liucheng, when he saw the Han army gathering outside the city, Tadun couldn't sit still.

"Has the king's people not come yet?" Tadun looked at his general and frowned.

"Not yet." The general shook his head and said, "My king, the people we sent have not returned yet."

Tadun's face was gloomy. These idiots really wanted to sell themselves out!

"Don't wait for them. Pass my military order. Gather troops tomorrow, go out of the city in four directions, and break through the Han army camp!" Tadun said coldly.

"Yes."

Although the Wuhuan people have a city like Liucheng, they are not good at defending the city. In terms of military strength, they are not worse than the Han people, or even more. If they defend the city, Liucheng is so big, the city wall is not high and thick, and the military advantage cannot be exerted. Not to mention that the city defense equipment is not as fancy as the Han people, it is better to go out of the city to fight, and the chances of winning are greater.

The next morning, the four gates of Liucheng were wide open, and a large number of cavalrymen rushed out. Zhao Yun, who was patrolling, saw this and had someone blow the warning horn. He brought his own troops and horses, and fiercely met the troops leaving the city from the north gate before the enemy army had completely left the city. The Wuhuan cavalry had not completely left the city and could not let go at all. Zhao Yun rushed back to the city and was almost forced into the city by Zhao Yun.

On the other side, Zhang He, who received the warning from Zhao Yun and also noticed the movement of the Wuhuan people, quickly arranged troops to defend the camp.

"Leaving the city?" Chen Mo stood on the arrow tower, looking at the large number of Wuhuan soldiers running around the camp outside the camp, turned his head and looked at the messenger and said: "Notify Zilong not to return for help for the time being, let Zhang He guard the camp, set off the wolf smoke, and let Fengxian return for help as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

There are naturally ways of communicating on the battlefield. The camp commands through flags, while Zhao Yun conveys some simple orders through the sound of horns, and Lu Bu mobilizes with wolf smoke.

Soon, a long horn sounded in the camp, and at the same time, a wolf smoke rose into the sky.

After Zhao Yun drove the cavalry at the city gate back, he was about to return to help when he heard the horn sound from the distant camp. After frowning and listening carefully for a moment, he turned his head and looked at the soldiers around him and said, "The lord has an order, and I will not join for the time being. Generals, follow me to continue running around the city."

Although he didn't know what Chen Mo was planning, Zhao Yun didn't dare to go far, but just ran around Liucheng, waiting for Chen Mo's next instructions.

On the other side, Lu Bu, who was sweeping the Wuhuan tribe around, also saw the wolf smoke from the camp.

"Retreat!" Regardless of the tribe that had been half burned and the herds of cattle and sheep, Lu Bu directly asked people to leave these things behind and drove back with his men and horses.

On the other side, outside Chen Mo's camp, Tadun divided his troops into two groups, running around the camp and constantly shooting arrows at the camp. This method did cause a lot of trouble for the Han army soldiers. Not only did they have to be alert all the time to deal with the arrows that could be shot at any time, but they also had to guard against the enemy's sudden rush.

The wall of the camp was not high, and those who were more agile could climb up with a running start. Some Wuhuan people had no bows and arrows, so they rushed to the nearby area and threw their horse forks in.

Zhang He would naturally not just take a beating without fighting back, and the archers did not aim. After the general calculated the range of the opponent's detour, he shot arrows at that range.

The two sides fought back and forth, and each suffered losses, but the battle was not fierce.

Chen Mo stood on the arrow tower, watching the opponent's cavalry tactics, and quickly calculated the opponent's possible attack direction and Zhang He's response in his mind. He had never really led cavalry in battle, but he was not unfamiliar with cavalry tactics. The reason why he did not command personally was that the generals under his command were indeed good, and secondly, he was the commander-in-chief. What he had to do was to coordinate the overall situation and seize the opportunity, rather than personally go into battle. Therefore, as long as his subordinates and generals did not have too many problems, Chen Mo would not easily do the general's work.

The battle between the two sides continued until noon, and a melodious horn sounded in the distance. It was the horn of Lu Bu's troops.

After hearing the sound, Chen Mo's eyes lit up and he immediately ordered: "Ma Chao, Zhang Xiu!"

"I am here!" Ma Chao, who had been waiting on the side and could not go to the battlefield for a long time, hurried forward upon hearing the words, and Zhang Xiu also followed.

"You two immediately gather the cavalry and prepare to leave the camp." Chen Mo shouted sternly.

"Yes!"

"Sound the horn, order Lu Bu and Zhao Yun to immediately attack the Wuhuan cavalry outside the camp!" Chen Mo turned his head and looked at the messenger.

"Yes!"

"Notify Zhang He that as soon as the enemy retreats, lead the army out of the camp and prepare to attack the city!"

"Yes!"

As orders were issued one after another, all the soldiers in the entire military camp began to mobilize. At the same time, in the direction of Liucheng, Zhao Yun heard the horn sound coming from the direction of the main camp and knew that the time had come. He immediately led his men and horses to the direction of the main camp.

Lu Bu also received the order, and without hesitation, he led his soldiers to the direction of the main camp.

Tadun, who was running around the main camp, trying to find an opportunity to break through the enemy camp, noticed something was wrong and hurriedly ordered the troops to withdraw from the main camp and prepare to withdraw to the city. At this time, Lu Bu and Zhao Yun arrived almost at the same time...
